sstark1285 40 Posted February 17, 2013 So I will be sleeved tomorrow morning at 8:45. I'm incredibly nervous, surgery is always a bit scary. I just had an emergency c-section where the anesthesiologist really messed up, so I'm a little wary. Can any one give me tips or tricks on how to make these next few days bearable. Just reassure me im doing the right thing. See you on the skinny side! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dalola 12 Posted February 17, 2013 You are going to be fine. Do what they tell you!!! #1=WALK! It will make recovery much easier and quicker. Your c section was much harder than this. I walked and was just fine. Did not need anything for pain after a couple days. Down 35 lbs so far & loving it. Would never be able to do it on my own. I certainly have tried enough times. Good luck.

azquilter92 82 Posted February 17, 2013 When you wake up,they will get you up and walking as soon as possible. Ask for Water or ice chips.and drink or suck as much as you can. Other than,,that,qhen you get home,dont over do it,if you have help at home,use them to take care of everything else, you concentrate on you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lilsexycg 1 Posted February 17, 2013 Im very neverous to my big day is feb 25 and it my first surgery ever so I like im neverous of the pain after I wake up in recovery.. please help me give me some ideas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dalola 12 Posted February 17, 2013 Post op pain is well managed. Within 30 min of waking up my pain was under control. When they wheeled me in my room I got up and used the bathroom, no problem at all. WALK. It relieves the gas which is the most cause of discomfort. If you do not get up, you will need more pain meds and be more uncomfortable. Wear a comfy pair of sweats to the hospital if you have them. Draw string waist pjs and sweats work great post up. Put the pj bottoms under my gown, used my wrap robe, slip on slippers on I was off down the halls. Wore the same draw string (extra big) sweats to and from the hospital. No problem.
